Why a Roadworthy Certificate is Required in Victoria

Vehicle Sale: When selling a vehicle, an RWC is required to complete the transaction. It provides the buyer with confidence that the vehicle is safe to drive. Valid for 30 days.

Re-registration: An RWC is essential when re-registering a vehicle that has been previously registered in Victoria or another state.

Peace of Mind: Even if you are not selling or re-registering your vehicle, obtaining an RWC can give you assurance that your vehicle is in safe operating condition.

An Engine Diagnostic Check using a specialised scan tool allows us to identify problems in a vehicle's engine, transmission, exhaust system, brakes and other major components.

When your vehicle's 'Check Engine' light comes on, it's essential to diagnose the issue promptly to avoid any further damage. Here are the top 10 reasons why your 'Check Engine' light may turn on.

Firstly, an ignition system malfunction can cause the 'Check Engine' light to illuminate as it affects the vehicle's performance and emission output. Additionally, a damaged oxygen sensor that measures the oxygen level in exhaust gases can lead to excessive fuel consumption, resulting in the engine light turning on.

Secondly, a loose fuel cap can also cause the 'Check Engine' light to appear, as it allows oxygen to enter the fuel tank, negatively affecting the car's performance. Moreover, a faulty mass air flow sensor can cause the engine light to come on, as it helps the car's computer determine the air to fuel mixture.

Thirdly, a catalytic converter can turn toxic carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide. However, if it fails, it will cause the engine light to turn on. Fourthly, issues with the emissions system can lead to performance problems and increase the vehicle's pollution, which will prompt the 'Check Engine' light to come on.

Furthermore, engine misfiring, which is an issue with combustion that causes a loss of power and fuel economy, could also prompt the 'Check Engine' light to come on. Low fluids in the car's oil, transmission fluid, or brake fluid levels can also cause the engine light to appear.

Lastly, a malfunctioning throttle body, which regulates the amount of air flowing to the engine, can affect engine performance and lead to engine light activation. Electrical system malfunctions, such as a blown fuse or bad spark plug, can also cause the engine light to turn on. It's best to have these issues diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

You don't have to wait for a 'check engine light' to get a diagnostic test, if you feel something is off in your vehicle a diagnostic test can help pinpoint any areas of concern.

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at Middleborough Car Care, your trusted local mechanic in Blackburn South.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre Middleborough Car Care in Blackburn South is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at Middleborough Car Care today.

At Middleborough Car Care in  Blackburn South we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At Middleborough Car Care we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.
